The Yanks have kicked the Orioles’ can for a long time but that’s all over now. Our boys are gasping for breath in the playoff hunt, O’s are cruising to October.*

*They did take a hit this morning though as Chris Davis got handed a 25 game suspension (including the postseason) for amphetamines.)
Antoan Richardson?
Adderall. "Check out the brain on Brad." -Samuel Jackson
He said is for ADHD, and I am sure it is tough for Davis to concentrate when his team is so far in the lead in the AL East. t is a stimulant that has effects similar to cocaine.
Maybe Davis sould have used that brain tonic that Griffey used and risk gigantism instead?
[1] pinch runner twice! first time he got picked off first base.
Le sigh
Good old Antoan, there he goes again, getting picked off first base. Antoan, we're keeping track!
Man, and McCarthy's pitching a gem, too.
Betances to the rescue!
No score into the 9th
Phew!
Dellin, inning 2...
Tense
Tha Hamma prevails!
This one goes to eleven.
The P is still Free.
C'mon McCann, put one over the fuggin wall.
Tex is due
Wouldn't it be great if Young could come through again?
Chris Young! A run!!
Young at Heart!
Maybe I should do more predictions?
Who'll they bring on to close it now?
Aw fuck!
Ugh
Motherfucker.
Well...that kind of sucked!
I'm off to Clydes on 10th Ave for game 2. Fingers crossed for a bounce back.
Yay, Brett's back.
O's are flailing away at Mitchell's pitches
Does anyone know if McCann wears contacts? He was squinting, opening his eyes wide during that at-bat.
Blergh.
Crud.
Too close to overturn.
A two for one deal.
Who the hell is this guy "Bud Norris"?
Can we have some offense please?
Phelpsie?
Oy
Heh, I'll take that. Very short double equivelant.
Gardner's gone back to taking too many strikes, then striking out swinging. Watch
Uh, I was wrong.
One run in a double header? On life support.
Same old story, goodnight Jacoby.
